This week sees the return of Macmillan's annual fundraiser the World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
People all over the UK will host their own coffee mornings and all the money raised will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. Last year alone the event raised £29.5 million and since it was introduced in 1990 the coffee mornings have raised a staggering £165.5 million!
This year, the official coffee morning date is Friday, September 29 but you can hold your own event on whatever date is most convenient for you and your guests.
Many businesses, schools and churches around Chester and Ellesmere Port are joining in so we thought we'd help you find an event local to you.
